whilst the first bit is generally true on newer systems the second is a bit of a blanket statement,, agreed they are more efficient at same clock speed but also cost more , and in some cases use more power, just took out a c2d 4300 on my htpc and replaced it with a amd 4850e, much better and fan runs quieter.
